This is a Gimmick Rally type of scavenger hunt. The questions are written below. You will need to search the park to find the answers to the questions. I have a crostic puzzle that goes with the questions. Please email me and I will send you the document. The first page is for the answers to the questions, the second page is for filling in the crostic puzzle at the end.

Once you fill out all the answers, you should end your drive at the beginning of your hike to the letterbox. There are several picnic tables for you to work on to figure out the clues to the box. The questions are in the same order as the answers.

A few hints to the answers to the questions below: I may have left out apostrophes or dashes, so be aware of that. The answers are verbatum; you do not need to make up an answer. Also, those that do not have a specified general location can be found at any of the locations mentioned below. You do not have to search any area I have not directed you to. The questions are not in order, so you will need to place them in order as you drive through the park. When you do park at one of the locations, you will not have to walk very far at all to find the answers.

The questions are geared towards educating you about the park as well as its history. Some are very interesting. I tried to not make it too hard, but challenging enough to feel a sense of accomplishment. I spent many hours making this letterbox so I hope you will take some of your time to search for this box. I placed it in a location most people do not know exists, but yet is a beautiful and very tranquil spot. I grew up very close to here and know the park like the back of my hand. In my opinion, the hike to my letterbox is the most beautiful part of the park. The stamp is obviously hand-carved and very representative of the park. The stamp is kind of difficult, though, and you will need to put some pressure from underneath the head and right side of the body to make sure the ink is fully transferred to your logbook. Happy hunting!!

If you don't have the time or don't want to do the crostic part of the letterbox, I can email you the clues and you may hike to the letterbox without doing the crostic puzzle.
